another hedge fund guy jumps to his death

Struggling to make money in markets can be very tough especially when living beyond you means.
Depression can result. Insomnia. The mind begins to play tricks on itself. It is torture, your own private room in hell. Been there many times.

This guy needed to take a break, he should of shut his hedge fund for as many months/years as he need and relaxed for as long as he needed.

I went full time in 2007, but in 2015 i stopped all trading for 6 months and when i returned i got back in slowly.

The guy was worried about having to downsize and (my guess is) that since his entire self-worth was wrapped up in making money, he had nothing to fall back on when that wasn't happening.

Don't become one-dimensional.
 
He wasn't a hedge fund manager, he was an investment banker. Sounds like he was wound too tightly and stress go to him. Depression need not be rational
 
Guys like these need to spend extra $5-10K a month to feel good about life and be upbeat in mind. I am not talking about hookers and lavish parties but things like nice massage, acupuncture sessions, walk in the green on the farms and interact and feed animals and similar other little things that nourish the mind, body and soul.

Ofcourse, acts like living beyond the means and piling up 10s of millions on mortgage should also be avoided.
 
Killing himself ensures his surviving wife and 3 kids will be forever destroyed by his suicide - they will hate him for his F U message he made to them by leaping. Been dirt poor after being way up - it's not so bad, you can find cash on the streets at night walking around by parking garages and night clubs. Real men bounce back from financial set backs with a vengeance, wimps throw in the towel.

I think Jesse was getting plenty of that kind of action.
But he still ended the same way as this guy.

Not sure who Jesse is, but even just getting tail is one dimensional. @toc had the right idea: be in nature. All this is just bullshit designed to get us laid in bed or laid in shade.
